Harald Sack<p>In our last <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/ISE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ISE2025</span></a> lecture last week, we were discussing what makes a node "important" in a knowledge graph.

Rowling as being more "important" ;-) </p><p><a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/knowledgegraphs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>knowledgegraphs</span></a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/semanticweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>semanticweb</span></a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/graphtheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>graphtheory</span></a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/eyeofthebeholder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eyeofthebeholder</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fedihum.org/@sourisnumerique" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>sourisnumerique</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sigmoid.social/@enorouzi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>enorouzi</span></a></span></p>
